Last week, I got an email from Darsi Ferrer of the Center for Health and Human Rights,which is a dissident organization member of the Assembly to Promote the Civil Society. Darsi , who is living in Havana and has been victim of numerous ‘repudiation acts’ ( during one of which he was wounded to his right hand ) , sent the story of a Cuban doctor who worked at a hospital for 24 years and now is surviving thanks to his family’s help, because the regime had fired him and don’t let him return to work.

He’s now forced to live in a ‘house’ where hygiene is an unknown thing.

The photos were taken by members of the Center for Health and Human Rights, who – along with Darsi and his wife – often visit poor Cuban families and offer them medical assistance, medicines, food, clothes and food ( these items are sent to the Center by Cuban exiles in Miami ) .

Darsi’s wife , Yusnaimy, was briefly detained along with another activist and two foreigners , among which was the Czech top model Helena Houdova, for talking to poor people and taking pictures of their houses

Look at the pictures and draw your own conclusions. I don’t think there’s need to further comment . The pictures can be seen here .

UPDATE: I’ve just received another email from Darsi Ferrer,in which he asks for our precious help in order for him and the other activists to intensify their humanitarian mission. I cannot give the details in public, so please send me an email and I’ll let you know.
